How can I learn FrameMaker?
Can anyone recommend materials such as books, videos, or web for learning FrameMaker tutorials that are intended for beginners?
The only book on FrameMaker, I could find on Amazon is published in the last two years is intended to be a reference for experienced users of FrameMaker. Everything on the site of Adobe seems to be on very precise FrameMaker, present topics, in no particular order, and there is an overview of the new features, but nothing to guide a new user. The last classroom in a book on FrameMaker is for Version 11. I tend to get a copy of that, but I don't know how can be lack of it.
In case it is useful, my situation is that I'm interested in a career change to become a technical writer and I finished a certificate program in technical writing at the local Community College, but he had no exposure to FrameMaker in this series.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

For all those who want to add FM to their portfolio of skills, training materials and manuals on older versions on paper collection has some value, and you can often find this material cheaply on eBay and sellers of second-hand books.
Not every shop is on the current version of FM. I recently took his retirement from that always used FM7.1/Unix and FM6/Unix for the major part of its production. In all cases, a port of entry is very likely to result in the maintenance of existing documents, perhaps in a heritage FM.
The usage model will also vary widely, with shops put emphasis on one of (but without limitation):
- Unstructured FM
- Structured FM
- workflow in Postscript for printing
- workflow in PDF format (historically most likely)
- workflow (more) to HTML, XML or ebook
- FM as part of a build system automated documents focus on the DB in real time

How can I learn how to use the effects affect for the 1st time?
Download to help me with the aftect effect: 'Now Playing' for my movie maker. I'm frustrated b/c I don't know how to use it.
I see that Rick has already you linked to my favorite updated resource on the way, but I wanted to warn you that EI is not a very easy to learn program. It's a real pleasure once you know what you're doing, but it will take a few months before you really understand how to use it - and it'll take a lifetime to master. It is a very powerful program, and as such, it has a steep learning curve.
Do not expect to pick up in a day.

How can we learn a new art of original art in a different position?
Hi all
Lets say I drew an own form in the page of the document and I chose it. Now, I want to draw an art print selected at different positions, with different lengths. I don't want to change the own Original, I want to make a copy of it to different positions.
I've seen different API, as...
(1) function of AIArt::NewArt)
-It delas with the segments of an art, but I don't want to go in depth of an art drawing.
(2) (AIArt::DuplicateArt)
-It is based on different layers,
So, could you please tell me...
(A) Comment can be selected at different positions art?
(B) what are the APIs available to change the position of an art
(C) that the API is available to Sclae the art?
(D) what are the APIs available to rotate art?
can we have an API such as DrawArt (copyOfOriginalArt, atNewPostion, withNewScale, WithSomeRotation)... .etc
NewArt creates a new, empty of art work you have to fill in with information. If you want to copy the art and then modify it, you're better off with DuplicateArt. Which is not to draw new layers, you can duplicate just about anywhere. You can fall on a new layer if you want, but also on the same layer. But it is a duplication of work, so it will have the same geometry as the original - if you want to move it you need to add a translation for each point on the path.
The API you want can be found in AIPath.h if you are looking to access roads. It will be different in some cases based on art, but if you're looking to rotate, scale or translate are you can use the AITransformArtSuite. It allows you to apply a matrix to any art, and he must do pretty much what you'd expect. Take a look at AIRealMath.h and you will find methods to create a matrix that performs a scale, translation or rotation. Then you simply apply them using AITransformArtSuite::TransformArt ().
And your terminology is a little off. There is no drawing going on here. 99% of the time, drawing is done by Illustrator. We simply by changing the geometry of the objects he designed then. This may seem subtle, but its an important distinction in a program vector. This is not Photoshop - it's not the pixels, they are objects. Adjust us their properties and let MY manages the rendering (for the most part). I not stopped to think about what you want to do as 'drawing' and more as creating or modifying objects.
And you can write a function to take a work of art, move it, resize it & turn very easily. You can combine transformations using AIRealMath - be sure to distinguish between 'Set' calls on matrices and calls 'Concat '. Also, remember that the issues when working with stencils!

Hello
I have a button made two functions at the same time. He plays animation a symbol upside down (to hide) and she slides an element. the animation of symbols is triggered by another button (which is irrelevant). So my problem is that if the animation has been triggered, first that when the button is pressed the animation plays in the sense opposite, the symbol is hidden and everything is fine, but if a helping hand as the button before the animation starts to blink in the opposite direction. SO, how can I learn to play the opposite during the animation of the symbol has run. I know that it is an if / else statement but I have no idea how to do it.
THX
This is a close case of your question:
If () sym.getSymbol("Symbol1").$("Text"). is (': visible ') ( ) { () sym.getSymbol("Symbol1").playReverse;} }
else { } sym.getSymbol("Symbol1").play (); }

How can I download and install Framemaker itself?
Here's the thing... I downloaded the version of Framemaker 2015 XML Author, and I can't locate some things like bullet and creation point font size changes to build the type of document that I want to do. I think I should have downloaded Framemaker (informal version). I went to uninstall and reinstall, but that has not worked. I was surprised. How can I switch to Framemaker - version unstructured, please? Thank you
Hi Brian,.
Uninstall and reinstall will not help, XML Author comes with a limited set of features. You will need to download Framemaker 2015 to achieve the functionality you're looking for.
Thank you

I update an existing project in the FrameMaker10, which is located in a structure of book. I changed the names of the files in the directory, they upgrade 11 FrameMaker and saved. When I try to add them to the book (whose name I also updated) a problem for some files. When I try t add them to the book file, I get an error message that says that the book file is unrecognizable. (It allows me to add it, but it appears in the file book with an icon that has a blue "M" in there.) Why is that happening and how can I change these files to normal FrameMaker files? Thank you.
Try to open the problem files using a text editor or viewer of files to see what the first bytes contain. Contains all the binary files valid FM FM 11
in the first bytes of the file. During the updating of the books, it is sometimes better just to create a new address book file and add files to it.
When you rename files in a book, changes at the level of the system will break any links/cross-references between files, so it is always best to use the option rename book in the file to change the names of files FM. This will keep the correct links.
